The Cowichan
Neighbourhood House Association (CNHA) is made up of over 100 members,
& runs almost entirely on volunteer labour.
We are both a Community Resource Centre and a Youth Centre. In essence,
though, the CNHA is an association of neighbours helping neighbours --
financed by donations, and run on volunteer spirit.

Speak
Art Mural created by CNHA Youth – quality prints suitable for framing are
available for $25!
In
1997, the Cowichan Neighbourhood House moved into the Old Chemainus Fire
Hall, located at 9796 Willow Street in Chemainus, BC, across from Water
Wheel Park, and a few doors down from the Seniors' Centre
& the Food Bank(see map, transit schedule, Greyhound schedule). It is from the Old Chemainus Fire Hall
that we run our Family Resource Centre and Youth Activities.
Many
thousands of volunteer hours and generous donations have been spent
fixing up the Old Chemainus Fire Hall to create a warm and welcoming
space. The main youth drop-in space is filled with numerous activities
including computers (free
internet access), pool tables,
foosball tables, air hockey table and a ping pong table. As well there are some comfy couches
and a place to play Wii.
Downstairs
also has a family resource room, a counseling space as well as a
wheelchair accessible washroom.
There
is a gymnasium with a sound system
upstairs large enough for workshops, concerts, and family events. The
building also houses a large kitchen
and two lounges, 2 TV sets
with DVD players, a stereo, a piano, an organ, and a host of other
resources for family and youth who need a place to go.
We rent our facilities for non-alcohol events. (See rental info).
The
Cowichan Neighbourhood House is a non-profit volunteer organization,
which means we depend on community members like you to exist. Simply put,
the CNHA is us - its members, volunteers and its community supporters.
You can get involved by attending meetings,
joining a committee, volunteering, becoming a member, or by simply participating in
our many family and youth activities. If you cannot help by
participating, we would greatly appreciate any donation
you can provide (computers, books, food, clothing, money, etc.). For
information, please contact us.
